Description Christoph Anton Mitterer 2010-12-08 08:53:46 UTC 
Hi.

Currently the file-name based Add* directives are somewhat limited.
E.g. doing an AddIcon levelup.png ..
means that also files like "foo.." match.

Having PCRE versions of the Add* directives would give one the full flexibility.


Alternatively, please add a special keyword like "^^PARENT_DIRECTORY^^" for the ".." case (this is not a real file anyway).
Comment 1 Christoph Anton Mitterer 2010-12-08 08:56:59 UTC 
This would allow one also to _not_ match files which are just named ".foo" and are more likely to be just some hidden file named "foo" and not a file of type "foo".
